Originally the diary of 4 months spent in Antarctica working as a documentary film sound recordist, this blog has evolved into an online repository for the thoughts, travels and trivia of the writer Richard Fleming. For McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and polar exploration, see August through December of '06. Currently you are likely to find in these pages chronicles of my actual and literary meanderings, as well as notes on my many other passions. Also, did I mention I wrote a book?

Out of Office Notification

I'm on Safari, spending the next ten days in two of Rwanda's spectacular National Parks. First I'm off to Akagera, the vast big-game savannah and impenetrable papyrus swamp that marks the country's eastern border with Tanzania, then on to Nyungwe in the extreme southwest, where thirteen species of primates live in primeval cloud forest. See you soon!
